Sunday evening

DearComrade,
I have just learned that an international conference of the bureaux of
the youth leagues is to be held at Zurich onWednesday. The
Norwegians and Swedes should be there (their youth leagues, as you know,
joined the Zimmerwald Left).

Willyou please
1) find out (tactfully—all this issecret) about this
in detail: the date, place, duration, composition;
2) ascertain whether a representative of our Party can attend; try to make
this possible andget in yourself;
3) make a special attempt to find out, as quickly as you can, who exactly
is going to be there from Scandinavia, get in touch with them, see them,
and putthem in touchwith us as soon as possible.

Dropme a line that you have received this letter and saying what you
hope to do.

Salut!Yours,Lenin

P.S.Please thank Siefeldt on my behalf for the books and tell
him I hope to getPrzegląd Socjaldemokratycznyfrom himin Zurich.

7th–9th.
